ANALYSISHow safe is the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq?
The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq carries a Moderate burden designation from federal regulators, a status primarily shaped by its recall and complaint record rather than by crash-test performance. Seven distinct recall campaigns have been issued for the 2023 Lyriq. These campaigns span multiple critical areas: the ABS module, front stabilizer bar brackets, the rear seat belt anchor, and the video display. One recall, specific to the body control module, uniquely impacts the 2023 model year. Beyond recalls, 24 unverified owner complaints highlight recurring concerns, particularly in Exterior Lighting and the Electrical System. Five of these complaints specifically detail issues with Forward Collision Avoidance systems, echoing themes present in the official recall data. Consumers seeking a safety benchmark should note the 2024 Lyriq’s Safety Index of 89 and the 2025’s 94, but these scores apply only to their respective model years and are not a proxy for the 2023 model.
NHTSA // RECALLSDoes the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq have any recalls?

Any used buyer considering a 2023 Cadillac Lyriq should run the vehicle's VIN through the free NHTSA recall lookup at nhtsa.gov before finalizing a purchase. Open recalls travel with the vehicle, not the original owner, and some of the campaigns covering this model year may not yet have been remedied on a specific unit.
- The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, meaning no Safety Index or star rating exists for this model year. Absence of a rating does not indicate a safety outcome in either direction.
- A recall specific to 2023 model year vehicles addresses a body control module updated with incorrect software, making it a year-specific campaign that does not apply to 2024 or 2025 Lyriq production.
- The rear seat belt anchorage recall covers the bracket welding for the left-rear and center-rear positions. Owners should verify by VIN at nhtsa.gov whether this remedy has been completed on their specific vehicle.
